The paintings reflect my family’s experience during the 2023 McDougall Creek wildfire in the Okanagan, when we watched the fire cross Okanagan Lake from the Westbank First Nation reserve into the City of Kelowna. Both my grandparents and parents were forced to evacuate.
These works were featured in Vital Signs at the Bill Reid Gallery.
